It's the 5th Monday of the month, and you know what that means: a BONUS episode. This time Amanda and Wade are digging into the movie trope coined by the amazing film critic (and Weird Al superfan) Nathan Rabin, the manic pixie dream girl. The hosts talk about how this term shone a light on a troubling Hollywood trope that must be addressed, but has also been used in some instances for harm and misunderstanding. Also, Amanda gives Wade an online quiz to see what percentage of a MPDG Wade is. Want to know how much he is? You'll have to listen to find out. Credits: Don’t Worry B Movies https://w ..read more

Geena Davis as a badass. Samuel L. Jackson as a wisecracking bad dad. 1996. Oh yeah! We are talking about the amazing action flick The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Trust us, you'll hav ..read more

Amanda and Wade welcome back returning guest Lucky Johnston to discuss the film The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover. The dynamic trio discuss the significance of costume and color in Greenaway's films, the amazing vulnerability of the great Dame Helen Mirren and Alan Howard being naked through much of this movie, and Michael Gambon's versatility (watch this movie if you want to see a Dumbledore actor be utterly reprehensible).

Amanda and Wade get grooving and tap into the angst of their misspent youths to discuss Empire Records! They marvel at the up and coming star power in this mostly plotless stoner classic and ponder the zen diametrics of Lucas and Mark. This movie could've been terrible. It could have failed. But not today. Not on... REX MANNING DAY!!!
